This PR successfully expands the VMM page from Mac-only to cover Windows backends (WSL 2, Hyper-V, Docker VMM) and updates the settings, install, and permission docs consistently. Three issues were found in the new content.

| - Docker VMM does not support bind mount auto-shares. If you see a `file is not shared from the host` error, go to **Settings** > **Resources** > **File sharing** and add the directory you want to share. | ||

| Docker recommends transitioning to newer alternatives, such as Docker VMM or the Apple Virtualization framework, as they offer superior performance and ongoing support. Docker VMM, in particular, offers substantial speed improvements and a more efficient development environment, making it a compelling choice for developers working with Apple Silicon. | ||
| #### Mac only |

@chelnak are these issues still accurate or have they been resolved with the switch to the new Docker VMM?

This PR expands the VMM documentation from a Mac-only page to a cross-platform page covering both Mac and Windows. The structural improvements (tabs, cleaner prose, removal of marketing language, better organization) are good. Two issues need attention before merge.
Findings summary:
- 1 HIGH: Version number contradiction (4.83 vs 4.86) that will confuse users about which Docker Desktop version introduced the new hypervisor
- 2 MEDIUM: Page-level Beta badge misleads navigation users; alternative VMM sections lack switching instructions
